2. Recon



Visual recon.

Nothing yet beats the "Mk I Human Eyeball" for getting a positive ID on enemy targets.

Use the high ground. Line of sight increases dramatically from elevated positions in Mech Commander.

Most maps will have vantage points from which you gain valuable overviews of the battlefield. Also remember that artillery strikes can't be targete wihout a clear line-of-sight to the target.

Use the MFD

Use the Multi Function Display ... a lot! After a couple of days of playing (and copping a hiding) I realised that I had been neglecting the MFD map.

The mouse was busy darting abput the tactical map and never seemed to make it up to the MFD.

Learn the keyboard shortcuts (or use a Saitek PC Dash) to control the MFD and Mech movement commands. This allows your mouse cursor more time on the tactical display, designating targets and destinations.

If we know that our own men are in a condition of attack, but are unaware that the enemy is not open to atack, we have gone only halfway towards victory.

An online database is available through the MFD. Use it to get data on enemy vehicle and Mechs. Use the database to plan attacks to take advantage of gaps in the enemy weapons ranges.
